"Sir Harris Nicolas has produced the first comprehensive History of the British Orders of 

 Knighthood: and it is one ofthe most elaborately prepared and splendidly printed works that ever 

 issued from the press. The Author appears to us to have neglected no sources of information, 

 and to have exhausted them, as far as regards the general scope and purpose of the inquiry. 

 The Graphical Illustrations are such as become a work of this character upon such a subject; 

 at, of course, a lavish cost. The resources of the recently revived art of wood-engraving have 

 been combined with the new art of printing in colours, so as to produce a rich effect, almost 

 rivalling tfiat ofthe monastic illuminations. Such a book is sure of a place in every great library. 

 It contain? matter calculated to interest extensive classes of readers, and we hope by our 

 specimen to excite their curiosity." Quarterly Review.
